hahaha
at first i was like 'idk, what does this have to do wi.... ooooh hes black... hhhhe"

Don't mean to sound so negative but all these outposts look the same, they just have one added thing in them to make them a little different with certain things in different spots. I was hoping for something with more uniqueness but I guess I gotta settle for copy/pasta forever.

No no no, not at all, you dont need to settle with this, you can always go play any other MMO out there.

Edit:
:O "OMG are you crazy!?, dont tell ppl to go play other games, they will leave and never come back ! D:"

In all seriousness, SE is aware of the situation with the zones, and already has indicated plans to redesign zones and cities. After all is said and done, one or two things that are copy/pasted like these settlements wont even stand out ^^ (Mind you, judging by the pic the only asset being duplicated is the actual building, so arranging it with other stuff around it can mask it pretty well, so its ok)

This makes me wonder what else they're putting in 1.18 we may not know about yet. Maybe nothing major, but I can't wait to read the patch notes.

Well, seeing this is the first step in battle changes, we are yet to see how much they are going to move abilities around to accentuate class uniqueness. Also, just by adding auto attack, a lot of abilities will change in how they are executed, for example, recast timer and casting time. Cant wait to read the full patch notes.

they really need to add life to the bazaars around the world tooooooo..... hope these really arnt there for looks

Nice! This is one of the things I've definitely been wanting to bring more life to the empty wasteland of Eorzea. The fact that they're introducing this many in this patch, and more in the next, has me excited that they're taking a good approach to livening everything up :)

I'm happy.

They look pretty.

It will be nice seeing these things in our wanderings.

If only we could build our own. :/

It is a good idea, as for building our own, probably not such a good idea, because you eventually reach a point where regions are more urban sprawl than field.

I'm getting pretty sick of these complaints, because while it's been a bit since I was playing every new MMO to come out about a year ago, this is very common thing in gaming and especially MMOs, buildings in a certain region have the same look generally with little additions to make them a little different. Since when has this been the ultimate failure of an MMO not to have each building totally different then one another? I missed the memo. You guys are going a little far with this copy paste stuff, keep it to where the concern is actual real.

I saw two blades of grass that looked exactly the same at the park by my house yesterday.

Stop with the copy-paste, God.
